Switzerland is nothing if not serious about seasonal decorating. Christmas is one of the few holidays I’m not a total hater about*, so I’m especially psyched to be here right now.

Hope the holidays have been jolly for you too, wherever you are in the world!

Hello!

I'm Kristina and I live by the sea in Brighton and work as a freelance illustrator. I dig cats, sequins, the internet, Nancy Mitford, cream teas, the Pre-Raphaelites and naps among other things.
This blog is a medley of drawings, photos and anything else I find pleasing to the eye.
